Lease

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.

With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period – usually referred to as the ‘lease period’. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract – when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

BHP rates the engine performance of vehicles and stands for the brake horsepower.

Performance (BHP)

CO2 is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the vehicle in grams per kilometre travelled, the lower the CO2 emissions the cleaner the vehicle is for the environment.

CO2 (g/km)

The total number of seats in the vehicle.

Number Of Seats

Road Tax is based upon the CO2 emissions of the vehicle and is split into 13 bands from A to M. The higher the letter the greater the cost of tax paid to drive the vehicle on public roads. In addition to the road tax detailed below, any vehicle that had a manufacturers retail price in excess of £40,000 when first sold, attracts a road tax supplement of an additional £310 per year. This is charged until the vehicle is 6 years old.

Ten Second Review

The Nissan 370Z is pretty familiar fare and around 50 per cent of all 370Zs sold in this country are the top-line Nismo model. This time round, the Nismo has come in for a makeover. The body kit is more subtle yet more aerodynamically functional, you get some lovely Rays alloys and Recaro seats and power is rated at a healthy 344PS. It's still a bruiser, but now it's a better-looking one.

Background

The Nissan 370Z is a car that has, thus far, failed to live up to the standards of its predecessor, the 350Z. In 2003, in the US alone, the 350Z shifted over 36,000 units. The 370Z's best year, 2009, saw it register about a third of that. Now it sells under 7,000 cars per year there. Compare that to 26,000 Subaru BRZ and Scion FRS models - the car we know more commonly as the Toyota GT86 - in the US and you can see that the 370Z was being undercut and overlooked. It's not just in the US either. Despite some price cutting, when was the last time you saw a brand-new 370Z on the road?
In order to regenerate some interest, Nissan has regrouped and considered its options. Cutting the price of the Zed at one end might tempt people from the GT86. At the other end of the range why not improve its abilities? That's the logic with the 370Z Nismo, a car that starts to show what the 370Z was always capable of.

Driving Experience

The Nismo model benefits from 16PS more under the bonnet, its peak power of 344PS now reached at 7,000rpm. After driving so many turbocharged cars, it's great to pedal something that requires a bit of work to extract the best from. It'll get to 62mph in just 5.2 seconds and run onto an electronically limited 155mph. Like all Zeds, it feels hefty and rather than dancing on its tiptoes at speed, it feels as if it's trying to punch the road surface into submission. Nissan has worked to cut road noise and the rear suspension has been softened quite markedly, so it no longer bucks about on poor road surfaces.
The seats are excellent, offering plenty of lateral support and the manual gearbox is one you'll have great joy in slamming home. It also does a throttle blip on the downshift to rev match the engine speed to the lower ratio. At higher revs there's still a lot of vibration coming through wheel and gear lever, but that's almost a Zed trademark and makes the car feel vivid and alive. There's a real excitement to driving this car fast and that's no bad thing. Sports cars should get you a bit juiced when you put them through their paces.

Design and Build

You're probably quite familiar with the 370Z shape by now, as it's been on sale here in the UK since 2009. The Nismo model amps up the attitude a bit, but not as much as some prior Nismo-badged cars. Only available with the coupe body, the 370Z Nismo can be identified by a redesigned front bumper which gets a larger air intake, additional air inlets ahead of the wheel arch and LED daytime running lights. Other updates include the introduction of black headlamp bezels, red Nismo trim at the base of the bumper, a redesigned side sill and door mirror and some Nismo badging. The 19-inch Rays alloy wheels are finished in black and silver.
Move round to the rear end and you'll spot a revised bumper and spoiler. As part of a complete rework of the 370Z Nismo's aero package, this version features a smaller rear spoiler that works in tandem with the front bumper to create significantly more downforce. What's more, the force is now more evenly distributed over the front and rear axles, giving a more balanced feeling on the road. The interior gets a sportier makeover and feels a generally pleasant place, although the steering column still doesn't telescope. It's still a two-seater-only cabin but there is a reasonable 235-litres of luggage space behind the seats.

Market and Model

Here's the kicker though. You can buy a standard 370Z for £27,435 and you'll probably be able to carve some off that with a bit of negotiation, making it cheaper than most typical Toyota GT86s. The Nismo model, on the other hand, costs a good deal more, retailing at £37,575. Is it ten grand better than the standard car? That's a question you'll need to answer, but Nissan has really thrown the options book at this one.
As well as the additional power, bigger alloy wheels and the body styling, the Nismo also gets some fantastic Recaro Sportster seats that offer significant improvements in support and comfort. By adopting a shell-based construction in preference over a traditional tubular frame seat, Nissan has also been able to improve rigidity and reduce weight at the same time. To complete the interior makeover, the seats are trimmed in red and black leather and Alcantara to match the steering wheel.

Cost of Ownership

The 370Z is a car that lives to be driven hard and to do so will inevitably rack up some fairly sizeable bills. Take fuel consumption as an example. Your Nissan dealer may well quote a combined figure in the region of 27mpg but you'll need to be some kind of feather-footed freak to match those figures. On one 'enthusiastically driven' test route, we saw an average of 13.2mpg come up on the calculator. Ouch. Likewise the 370Z, while mechanically rugged, has an appetite for rear tyres if you're the sort who likes to occasionally disable the electronic control systems.
You'd expect insurance to be commensurate with a car that can reach 155mph and which will jet to 60mph in just over 5 seconds: expect a Group 46 rating. Residual values for this range-topping car might be a bit of a worry but if you're thinking that sinking money into an entry-level Porsche Cayman might be a better idea, you'll need to find another £2,500 and by the time you've specified it to the level of the 370Z Nismo, your typical three-year residuals will probably be about the same.
